Shi Man patted her brother’s shoulder. He quickly reacted and said seriously, “Sister, you’re right. You’ve actually suffered the most in this entire matter. I’ll compensate you well. If you need help in the future, you can look for me at any time.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows and smiled in satisfaction. “Since my brother has said so, don’t refuse anymore. Taking ten thousand steps back, this child is half of my brother, right? If you don’t let him compensate you, you’ll be at a disadvantage.”
Bai Xue hurriedly waved her hand and said, “I don’t want compensation. Brother Shi was implicated by me. I’ve let him down.”
Shi Mu changed his cold attitude and took the initiative to persuade her for a long time. Only when Bai Xue relented did he heave a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Shi Man curiously. “Sister, how did you find Bai Xue’s mother?”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Yi Zheng. She smiled and said, “Actually, he contributed to this matter.”
Actually, a few days ago, Yi Zheng had already investigated that there was a bodyguard in the Bai family whose whereabouts had been strange recently. What was worth his attention was that this person was personally assigned by the Bai family’s head to ensure Bai Yao’s safety.
It went without saying that Bai Yao would need a bodyguard. However, this bodyguard was still quite vigilant. After following him a few times, the other party had shrewdly shaken off all the suspicious cars and personnel without leaving any traces.
Before this, Shi Man had suggested borrowing resources from the Blood Oath to investigate this matter. Yi Zheng had handed this matter to Tang Zhe. Unexpectedly, the men at Immaculate found out.
After a discussion, Sean and the others felt that this was a matter of Immaculate’s reputation. They immediately issued a summons and transferred a few very smart mercenaries from Immaculate’s headquarters in M City.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble if their identities were exposed, they were not brought to meet Shi Man. As soon as they arrived in G City, they started investigating Bai Yao’s bodyguard.
The few of them continued to monitor the movements of that person and the Bai family until one of them realized that the bodyguard had a habit of drinking and gambling. He took this opportunity to approach him and win his trust.
The handsome mercenary, Lin Si, had once been in charge of the casino’s business and was very familiar with the casino’s tricks. He had helped the bodyguard win a lot of money, and the two of them had a drink together. They were completely familiar with each other, so he naturally discovered where the bodyguard might be hiding.
Last night, Lin Si had come to that residence alone, but because the bodyguard was very vigilant when he wasn’t drunk, he had almost been strangled to death by him.
That night, the situation was critical. Lin Si could not breathe as he held him in his hand. In a moment of desperation, he picked up the wine bottle beside him and smashed it down, only to catch his breath for a moment.
Seeing that he still had the strength to fight back, the bodyguard was furious. He wiped the glass shards off his face and walked over with a ferocious expression. “Good kid, who are you? Did you approach me on purpose that day?”
Lin Si leaned against the wall and bent over to cough for a while, but his throat was still burning with pain. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. You want to kill me, so, of course, 1 have to fight back!”
The bodyguard snorted coldly, picked up the iron rod in the corner, and slowly walked in front of him. “You still dare to pretend? Looking at your skills just now, you’re probably a mercenary, right? Tell me, who sent you?”
Lin Si took a step back and sized up him warily. “What mercenary? I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’m just here to drink with you. 1 really treat you as my big brother!”
A trace of hesitation flashed across the bodyguard’s eyes. He frowned and was about to hesitate if he should really kill the other party when he suddenly heard the sound of chains on the ground.
The hesitation in the bodyguard’s eyes instantly turned into ferocity, and his lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile. “You heard it. You have to die now.”
Lin Si’s reaction was extremely fast. After confirming that this was where the hostage was being held, he no longer hid his strength. He suddenly squatted down, took out a gun from his boot, and aimed it at the bodyguard’s head with a playful gaze.
The bodyguard’s hand that was raising the iron rod froze. His eyes widened in disbelief. The next second, his expression became even more ferocious and brutal. “You really dare to lie to me! I’ll kill you!”
Lin Si didn’t hesitate and shot him in the forehead.
After the loud gunshot, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded in his ears. The bodyguard stared until the blood on his forehead flowed out before he fell to the ground unwillingly.
When Shi Man told Shi Mu about the rescue process, she deliberately omitted the part about the murder. She only said that the people around Yi Zheng were skilled and subdued them in a few moves before Bai Xue’s mother was saved.
Now, the way Shi Mu looked at him became a little subtle. He stared at Yi Zheng in confusion and muttered to himself, “When did your Yi family have such talent? Why haven’t 1 seen them before?”
Yi Zheng coughed dryly and said, “I’ve always had them. They usually only protect us in the dark and won’t show their faces easily.”
Realization dawned on Shi Mu. “Oh,” he said awkwardly. “Then I have to thank you. Damn it, I really don’t want to owe you a favor..”
